Having something lightweight and warm in your pack really makes the difference between a comfortable day out on the hill and a day that could see you getting cold and damp. This is a full review and a field test of the Páramo Torres Medio Gilet.

Titanium is a wonderful material for the trail, it’s light but strong and heat moves around within its structure well so it boils super fast, its safe to say I am a big fan. This is a full review and field test of the MSR Titan Kettle.

Lets get something out the way first. Sleeping in a bivi does require a special type of person. Either you are very hardy and able to cope with claustrophobia. Or someone who is foolhardy enough to cope with rolling around in the dark while accidentally trapped inside their bivi because they cannot find the zip in the dark. Here is our review and field test of the Rab Ridge Raider Bivi.

Carrying water in the backcountry is an essential skill to master. We all know about bottles and hydration bladders.

The Atmos AG 50 joins my Osprey collection and brings with it high levels of comfort and accessibility in a very flexible capacity. Its companions are the Mutant 38, Kestrel 48 and the Talon 33. So you could say that I am an avid Osprey user.
